The signing in Peking on May 27, I95I, of the I7-point Agreement on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet marked the
end of Tibet's latest forty-year interlude of de facto independence and formalized an arrangement which, although in some
respects differing from the earlier relationship between China and Tibet, in principle but reimposed the former's traditional
suzerainty over the latter ̃Since then, the course and pattern of relations between the Central Government and the so-called
Local Government of Tibet have undergone aseries of drastic reappraisals and readjustments, culmi℗Ư and the flight of the
Dalai Lama to nating in the rebellion of I959 India. These events, together with the recent degeneration of the Sino-Indian
border dispute into a fuIl-fledged military confrontation, have served to dramatize the importance of Tibet from the point
of view of global strategy and world diplomacy. Long before that, however, indeed ever since Tibet's occupation by the Chinese
Red armies and the region's effective submission to Peking's authority, the Tibetan question had already assumed the status
of a major political problem and that for a variety of good reasons, internal as weIl as international. From the vantage-point
of domestic politics, the Tibetan issue was from the very start, and still is now, of prime significance on at least three
counts

In 1968, the predecessor of this volume was published as Number 15 of the Law in Eastern Europe series, under the title "Soviet
Citizenship Law". The decision to put out a new version of that study was prompted by the enactment in 1978 of the CUTTent
Law on the Citizenship of the USSR and the various changes in Soviet prac tice in this domain which occurred in the intervening
decade. I have drawn on the earlier work for background material and in order to make comparisons between the previous record
here and the substance ofthe latest statute. However, the pres ent monograph is not a second edition in the sense of being
an expanded and updated revision of the original, but stands as an independent piece of research and analysis. Thus, three
of the chapters (out of a total of six) featured in the 1968 vol urne - citizenship and state succession, state succession
and option of nationality, and refugees and displaced persons - have now been omitted for the simple reason that the situation
in these areas has remained virtually static during the past ten years so that the initial treatment requires no significant
alteration. On the other hand, fresh problems have meantime arisen - such as, for instance, the connection between citizenship
and emigration, and the relationship between citizenship status and the international protection of human rights - which called
for attention and are dealt with in this book
